Sattva Yoga Academy  Avis 

The place ,the guru and the teachings are totally sham.Money minting moron claiming to be enlightened.

If you are looking for a 'spiritual leader' (who is not enlightened and has considerable anger issues), this is a great choice. You will be manipulated and made to believe in the illusionary bliss of the training, or you leave - Big manipulation with the students. The food is constantly repeating, overcooked with no nutrients left. Teachers were not knowledgeable and not open to sharing the knowledge, as you would expect from the teaching training you pay for.
Yes, there is a lot of philosophy (some yoga, but otherwise general philosophy) by the leader which can be transformative for people. So can be the overwhelming kundalini practices. What is missing is honesty, kindness, and truthfulness of the course.
One day of anatomy (in 200h!), one day of teaching techniques. A lot of students have been seriously sick and ill after the training, people passed out between the morning practices, and if you wanted to get up and help them, you would be stopped by the leader.
The prices at the school were ridiculous for India, basic things such as water were way too expensive and also any other extras.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of money involved, and not in the nicest way.
I have met some wonderful people there (students) and I believe this may have been a transformative experience for some, but I would seriously question the health and safety of this place, both mental and physical. I believe I am not the only one, however, I don't think a lot of people would dare to say it out loud, as you would not be considered as a part of the 'Sattva family' anymore.
I am truly happy for anyone that this experience has made a positive change in their life, but personally I am disappointed with what is considered to be one of 'the best yoga schools'.

I attended the 300hour TT in April of this year and have a hard time using words to describe the profound impact the program had on my life. I thought the program would be beneficial primarily to my own practice and self study, but I left feeling inspired to share kriyas, breathwork, meditation and more with whomever I could! The authentic teachings of Himalayan wisdom eloquently come through Anand's school, thus reaching far and wide throughout the world (a must in today's climate).
Even if you're not planning on teaching, I'd 10/10 recommend this course – the daily journeys alone will leave you transformed and realizing your highest potential!

My experience at Sattva has been illuminating. It is such a beautiful place, surrounded by abundant nature, the river, the pool and it has an excellent Spa offering ayurvedic as well as other different treatments. The Staff is accomodating and friendly. I stayed a Sattva a couple of times for Yoga Teacher Trainings and I cannot put into words how transformational it has been.

First of all, the setting of the academy in Himalaya is very conducive to learning. I found myself in the silence. The teachings are truly authentic. They brought a shift in me. My family and friends say so. Founder Anand Mehrotra is very insightful. This yoga teacher training has equipped me for life. Not just to set up an independent yoga practice. I'll come again. To deepen my learning and just to soak in the sattvic vibes. And for ancient wisdom from Anand. Thank you Sattva!

Beautiful place. Consecrated energy of yogis meditating from around the world. Anand Mehrotra, the spiritual master is profoundly wise and pragmatic. It's not just started yoga. It's life changing.

I completed my 200 hour Yoga aloiance approved Yoga teacher training at Sattva Yoga Academy . The profund impact of this training on my life has been truly transformative. I learned so much and gained life long connections. The campus, the food , the faciltites and ofcourse the teaching are truly the best. I would recommend anyone looking for something True to go to Sattva Yoga Academy. I will be back soon for my advanced trainings!! see you there
